Those posters who talk about the importance of the winter or all-season tyres are spot on - you might also stand a chance of stopping when you need to.

Depending on what happens to emissions and taxation then a more efficient FWD model might be easier to sell than a less efficient AWD one...

Some info in this video. It's a few years old but it relates to Gen 5 Haldex found on SPA cars. https://youtu.be/RxpbI0ABpoI?t=82 Quote:

PS: as for resale of 2WD SUVs.. meh.. there's clearly a demand for these- as much as I personally don't understand the logic of buying a heavy, high center of gravity vehicle without an AWD - I'm sure there's a decent demand for used 2WD SUVs..

There you go. Haldex knows his stuff. Please tell us what Porsche and bmw do and what Range Rover does to complete the picture.

Everything I have read does lead me to conclude that proper winter tyres are of great benefit in snow conditions.

BMW - a proprietary multiplate clutch, RWD biased. M-B - a Magna-Steyr-developed viscous-coupling case- again, resembles how Haldex works.. Again- RWD biased. RR - Torsen planetary differential (also used in VW/Audi longitudinal engine AWD application- eg. A4/6, Q5/7, etc..). Permanent 50/50 split, can shift up to 100% to either axle.
